Here is a worksheet on the verb phrase give up as it is used with a gerund. I give up explaining why I find these worksheets of dubious value.

This morning when I first pulled this reading on photochemistry and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet off the shelf, I assumed it would be about developing photographs in a dark room, an arcane art that I nonetheless learned in high school in the 1970s but that is now a niche skill, I suppose.
In fact, this is a nice introduction to the actual physics of light–which is, after all, what the Greek root photo means: light.

Moving right along this morning, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root verb. As you probably infer, this root simply means word. You’ll find this root at the base of just about any word in English related to language, for example (and all on this worksheet), adverb, proverb, verbalize, and verbatim.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concept of art for art’s sake. This is a half-page worksheet with a three-sentence reading and three comprehension questions. In its brevity, this document does a fine job of introducing the concept of art for its own sake–that art needs no economic, political, or social justification.
If nothing else, students will now know what ars gratia artis means when Leo the Lion roars at the beginning of Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) films.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb emanate. It is used both intransitively and transitively; it means respectively (intransitively and transitively, that is), “to come out from a source <a sweet scent emanating from the blossoms>” and “emit <she seems to ~ an air of serenity>.” This is still a word in relatively common use. It’s hard to imagine a reason why high school graduates should not be in possession of this word and its meaning.

Here is a worksheet on the verb finish as it is used with a gerund. I have a ways to go before I finish posting these worksheets on gerunds and infinitives.

Here is a on the Greek word roots tele, tel, and telo. They mean distant, end, and complete. You’ll find this root, somewhat abstractly, at the basis of words like telegenic, telegraph and telegram (mostly obsolete nouns now, I suppose), and telemetry, all of which are included on this worksheet–which means, if the author of the book from which this work is drawn remains correct, these words are likely to show up on the SAT.

It’s a word used routinely in relation to the American Civil War in social studies textbooks, but in my experience never taught explicitly in social studies classrooms, so maybe this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the adjective antebellum. This Latinism, as this half-page worksheet points out in its two-sentence reading (with two comprehension questions), means “before the war.”
If you think it will help, here is a word root exercise on the Latin root bell-.

Starting out this already warm Wednesday morning, here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective effusive. This is a useful, but to my ear little-used, word, which is too bad. It means, especially for the purposes of the context clues on this worksheet, “marked by the expression of great or excessive emotion or enthusiasm.”
Maybe people just don’t effuse anymore. And that is too bad as well.
